Donald Trump opens tour of Asia with rhetoric-heavy speech to troops in Japan

US President Donald Trump has delivered an aggressive speech to American
troops stationed in Japan as he kicks off his tour of Asia.

Hastily donning a bomber jacket in front of the rowdy crowd
at Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo, Trump stopped short of identifying his
enemies by name, but the rhetoric was clearly directed at Pyongyang.

"We dominate the sky, we dominate the sea, we dominate
the land and we dominate space," he said, before assuring the troops that
plenty more grade-A, US-made "equipment" was on its way to them.

"No dictator, no regime, no one should ever underestimate American
resolve."

Trump also took some time during the address, delivered
immediately after the eight-hour flight from Hawaii, to talk up his economic
performance at home.

According to CNN, this was a hot topic between the president
and journalists during the journey on Air Force One.

During his three-day stay in Japan, Trump will play golf
with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and professional player Hideki Matsuyama. The
president will also hold talks with the premier, and he and his wife, first
lady Melania Trump, will meet Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.

Trump, at the start of a 12-day Asian trip, is looking to present a united front with Japan against North Korea through meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe amid heightened tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Asia, Trump said a decision would be made soon on whether to add the reclusive state to a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

His administration also planned to take a different approach to dealing with the issue.

"We want to get it solved. It's a big problem for our country and the world, and we want to get it solved," he said.

"And there's been 25 years of total weakness and so we're taking a very much different approach," Trump said.

Trump has rattled some allies with his vow to "totally destroy" North Korea if it threatens the US and his dismissal of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.

Trump landed at Yokota Air Base on the outskirts of Tokyo, where he was greeted by cheers from service members. Trump then donned a bomber jacket for a speech in which he touted American firepower and the US alliance with Japan.

"Japan is a treasured partner and crucial ally of the United States and today we thank them for welcoming us and for decades of wonderful friendship between our two nations," he said, speaking in front of an American flag inside an aeroplane hangar.

"On behalf of the United States of America, I send the warmest wishes of the America people to the citizens of this remarkable country," he said.

After the speech, Trump was set to head to a private golf course for an informal lunch and golf with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Trump also said he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin during his trip, the longest Asian tour by any US leader since George HW Bush in 1992.

"I think it's expected that we will meet," he said.

"We want Putin's help on North Korea."

Trump will seek a united front with the leaders of Japan and South Korea against North Korea before visiting Beijing to make the case to Chinese President Xi Jinping that he should do more to rein in Pyongyang.
